I have been putting cereal in my babies bottle since 5 weeks..............and he does very well on it. I started 1 tsp per 4 oz bottle to make sure he did not get constipated. Then every week i upped it 1/2 tsp and now I put 1 tbs in his evening 4 oz. bottle. I have started this week feeding him 2 cereal bottles one at 8 and one at 12.............then he sleep til 5 am. And it works for my baby so I dont need the lectures or sideways comments about how terrible I am for going against the grain......

I am in the opposite of pp....my lo takes. Cereal and she does have acid reflux but it helps her stay full longer. Babies at this age bf do not go everyday so I doubt pp lo was constipated on cereal. My lo now sleeps through the night so idk but it might be the cereal. Start off half teaspon per 2 oz

cereal should not be given before 6 months and certainly not in the bottle.

if it is under doctors orders for acid reflux that is different and the babies with acid reflux are probably sleeping longer because they are not having the reflux problems now so they actually can get some sleep.

most likely the cereal will not help your baby stay full longer - plus cereal is nutritionally devoid of pretty much anything. Its actually not a very good baby food at all.

BUT if you do decide that you are going to do this no matter -please don't use rice cereal unless it says WHOLE GRAIN BROWN. Seriously white Rice cereal is the most worthless baby food known to man. Go with Barley, whole grain brown rice or whole grain wheat.

Wow I think your fixing to open a big can of worms you didnt want to open.. lol. I'll be honest at 2 weeks I started my DD on cereal b.c she just wasnt getting enough from me. And yes I put it in a bottle with my breast milk. I am fixing to start my son on it b.c he eats every hour on the hour no matter how much he eats. I know you asked for advice but don't listen to them all. If baby cereal was so bad for babies it damn sure wouldn't be on the market. Sort of like makeup. Its not healthy for your face but most women still use it any ways. So do what you feel you need to do.. Remember if you don't try it you wont know if it works or not. I am a 2nd time mom and I'm still doing trial and error.. lol. Good luck mama..
